Talk to Mordecai, in Sanctuary, after having completed the mission "Where Angels Fear to Tread". Roland has been killed by Handsome Jack. Mordecai wants you to be the messenger and deliver the bad news to Roland's friends in Sanctuary, friends who might not have been alive had it not been for Roland's courageous actions.
Your objectives are as follows:
Talk to Scooter
Talk to Marcus
Talk to Moxxi
Talk to Zed
Set the mission as active in your mission log, if it is not set so already. All NPCs should be marked on your map, making it easy to spot. Look for the diamond waypoints.

After you have told everybody, Mordecai sends you the code to Roland's armory and the Armory Chest. Your objectives now is to open Roland's Armory and Roland's Chest. These are in the Crimson Raider HQ. Then, turn the quest in to Mordecai for your reward.
